nerve cells and tiesuex were disin
egrated , iiot in a flash, as desig
nated, but bv the relatively slim
strokes of the electric hainmer-
iipon them. Only a deliberate
pe'i can adequately describe the
scene.
Dr Fell stepted forward with a
long syringe in his hand and dHi
ly wetted two sionges whvh were
at the elei-tioies. one on tcp- of
the head and he other at the hase
of the seine. The water which he
put on i hem was impregnated with
salt. Ot. Spitzka answered ,ihe
wurden's queMion with a shrut
'all right." which was echoed bj
the o'hern about him.
Kemra'er was killed at 6:10.
The first shock was not succeaful.
He re vi vel, and there were fre
quent restorations, though the
di'Ctors claim there was nocon
sciousnes. After some delajy the
current wa turned on agon and
kepi on for 'our and one-naif min
utes, the first contact having been
12 seconds. The current was- kep
on the t-e ond time until the body
fumed and gave, off - amdeasant
o lor. Dr. Sj'itska.tbtfcalebrated
expert, said afterwir fc. tht the
experiment was a failure, and this
would settle electrocution. "There
will never be another," paid lie.
Kemmler's nerve was Homethint!
wonderful. He never faltered.
He directed the adjustment of
himself in the chair and coun
selled the warden to mderatioii
to secure perfect safety. The
shock whs given at 6 :43j and was
continued about IS seconds. Two
minutes after the current was cut
off there was evidence of respi
ration "Turn the current on instantly.
The man ia not dead," cied Spitz
ka.
Faces grew white and forms fell
ack from the chair. The warden
prang to the (loot way and ciied,
'turn on the cm rem, but tm
enr-ent could not be turned on.
When the signal to stop had come
the operator had pressed the little

engineer to stop the dynamo.
The dvn-imo was almost at a

Tnere was a rapid lepponse, but it

climax in reality there were but
seventy-three seconds in tbe in
terval which elapsed be' ween the
moment when the nr-t sound is
sued from Kemmler's lips, until
tbe reaponse to the signal came
from toe dyn imo room. It came
witlt the same suddenness that
marked the first shock whicn
oasse 1 through K-mmltrr's body.
I'ne sound w hi L had h rriued
the listeners about the chair was
'i' off sharply as the body once
more became fig d. A s imy ooze
sua dropfied fioiu the m .ut i slow
ty down the beard onto the gray
Vest.
iXwtes .inm thawe twicbings of
the body a the deciri. iana in tbe
uext room threw the current on
and on". Time was to oe no mis
take this time about the killing.
The dynamo was run up to the
highest speed and again the lull
current oi 20 K) VoitJ was sent
tnrough the body.
How long this waskei tin action
io one knows. To the excited
groui about the chair it t-eei.ied
an inte'ininab e time. Dr. Daniel,
who looked at toe watch excitedly,
and who thought he had an ap
propriate idea o the time, at least,
said it was four and a half minutes
in all. Tbe warden's assistant,
who stood over the dynamo, said
that on the second signal the
machinery ran onlv three and a
half minutes altogether.
No doubt this time the current
nad done its work, if not well,, at
least completely. Dr. Fell, who
stood at the side of a special cor
respondent of the Associated
Press, turned and said: ''Well,
there is no di ubt about one thing.
The man never suffered an iota ot
pain." In i n after consultation,
other physicians expressed the
same I ebef. It was some mitiga
tion of the h' riora of the si'uaiion
to believe t'ds. but the-mitigation
was extremely slight.
Tiie autopsy began at 9 o'clock,
ft was found when the body wa
spread out on the table, that very
severe rigor tno-tw bail set i'i
There was little relaxation and i
was with dimcuity ine corpse
was straightened out. On exam
ination it was found the second
electrode had burned through tht
skin and into the flesh at the base
f the spine, making a scar nearh
live inches iu diameter. The
heart, lungs and other organs were

New Timet, August The
story of the electrocution of
Kemmler nas neen the talk ot the
town todiy. Extra editions v
which the horrible details were
told at great length in t' e papers
w re read with a shudder. The

seems to Ins that the attending of
an execmion by electricity is sum

of inflicting the capital penally.

OREGON'S PKOTKST.
The tirounde oa Which the State
DeHUsdi a New Censu.
Portland, August 6. The pres
ident of the chamber of commerce
iixlay sent the following message
io Oregon's delegation in congress,
relative to the alleged imperfec
tions in the census n this state:
Washington cast at her state elec
tion this year 58.443 votts and the
census gives that state 3ofl,000
population. Oregon cast at th
ai ale election this year .34,000
votes, and the census should in a
lire ratio give her a population of
418,000,while it gives only 264,262
The glaring political injustice of
this ts that while the smaller state
of Washington wilt get two mem
hers in the lower house of con
gress and a prviortionate power
in the electoral college, the larger
state of Oregon will get but one
member and a corresponding lo-e
f reprsentation in the electoral
